Package Installations Fail - snowman58 - 12th Mar, 2013 04:54 AM
I am trying to install the Samba package using Putty -> sudo xbian-config.
After I select Install, it comes back with error log message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run ‘sudo dpkg – co’ (rest of message runs off the screen).
I have also tried to install using Programs -> XBian-Config -> Packages. Again it shows the Samba package, but hangs while showing “Installing ….”.
Same problem occurs when trying to install other packages.
Suggestions?
Is there a better alternative to Samba for sharing the HD with a Windows system?
Thanks!

Try:
Code:
sudo apt-get install xbian-package-sambaRE: Package Installations Fail - snowman58 - 12th Mar, 2013 05:26 AM
When I tried: 'sudo apt-get install xbian-package-samba' it gave the rest of the error message which said to run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'.
I ran that & it updated a number of packages.
After the updates Samba installed as expected.
Thanks for the fast help!
